Bard envisions the liberal arts institution as the hub of a network, rather than a single, self-contained campus. Numerous institutes for special study are available on and off campus, connecting Bard students to the greater community.

The Center for Civic Engagement at Bard College embodies the fundamental belief that education and civil society are inextricably linked. In an age of information overload, it is more important than ever that citizens be educated and trained to think critically and be actively engaged with issues affecting public life.

2018 Bard Music Festival Gala

Please join us for a celebration ofRimsky-Korsakov and His World

Tuesday, May 1, 20186 pm

Bohemian National Hall; 321 East 73rd Street, New York, NY

In its 29th season, join the Bard Music Festival for an exploration of the life and times of the composer who played a central role in the definition of what we know as the Russian style in music: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908). The most assiduous and prolific of the Russian nationalist composers known as the Mighty Five—Mily Balakirev, Alexander Borodin, César Cui, and Modest Mussorgsky were the other four—Rimsky-Korsakov developed and refined many of the ideas born in the hothouse of their collective creativity, forging a highly recognizable Russian style and passing it on to his many students. The Bard Music Festival looks at the shape of his career, from naval officer to composer of great originality. His work and influence, both musically and politically, are examined in the context of compositions by the Mighty Five, as well as Mikhail Glinka, Alexander Glazunov, Pyotr Tchaikovsky, Alexander Scriabin, Sergey Taneyev, Igor Stravinsky, Sergey Prokofiev, and many others.Proceeds from this evening will support the artistry and continuing presentation of the Bard Music Festival.

H. Jon Benjamin’s Failure Is An Option

Presented in association with Oblong Books & Music

Wednesday, May 2, 20188 pm

Olin HallH. Jon Benjamin—the lead voice behind Archer and Bob’s Burgers—will help us all feel a little better about our own failures by sharing his own in this hilarious memoir-ish chronicle, Failure Is An Option.

Most people would consider H. Jon Benjamin a comedy show business success. But he’d like to remind everyone that as great as success can be, failure is also an option. And maybe the best option.

In this conversation and in the book, he tells stories from his own life, from his early days (“wherein I’m unable to deliver a sizzling fajita”) to his romantic life (“how I failed to quantify a threesome”) to family (“wherein a trip to P.F. Chang’s fractures a family”) to career (“how I failed at launching a kid’s show”). As Jon himself says, "breaking down one’s natural ability to succeed is not an easy task, but also not an insurmountable one."Sponsored by: Spring Talks.

Do Workfare Programs Promote Climate Resilience and Food Security? Evidence from Indian Agriculture

Vis Taraz, Assistant Professor of Economics, Smith College

Thursday, May 3, 20184–5 pm

Campus Center 2nd floor Yellow Room

India’s National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA), the world’s largest public works program, has been demonstrated to have beneficial impacts on a wide range of outcomes, but its effects on agricultural productivity have been relatively understudied (Sukhtankar 2016a). We test whether NREGA affects agricultural yields, both in terms of average yields and also in terms of the sensitivity of yields to weather shocks. Our empirical strategy exploits the staggered rollout of NREGA and random fluctuations in weather. Using a nationwide dataset, we find that NREGA does not affect the average level of yields, but it does make yields more sensitive to adverse weather shocks. We find evidence that this may be occurring via the channels of wages and labor supply, because the effects we observe are most pronounced for crops that are more labor intensive. Our results suggest that the household-level consumption-smoothing benefits of NREGA must be balanced against challenges to national food security that India faces, particularly in the face of climate change. Hence, implementing complementary programs such as investing in improved seed varieties, expanding extension services, and promoting farm mechanization is critical.

Things look different from the passenger seat: How will autonomous vehicles change our world?

Thursday, May 3, 2018 – Friday, May 4, 20185–6 pm

Olin, Room 102The century of the automobile is rapidly coming to a close, as three simultaneous revolutions replace gasoline with electricity, driving with autonomous operation, and car ownership with transportation purchased as a service. Major changes in our transportation system will doubtless bring changes to our economy, our opportunities to associate or segregate ourselves, and our environment. Whether these changes are for better or worse depends upon the progress of social norms, business practices, and laws and regulations at federal, state and local levels. With policy-makers in Washington and Albany, tech leaders in the Silicon Valley and car companies in Detroit plainly not up to the task, positive change will require engaged citizens guided by a clear vision for the future they want and demand.

Hegeman 107Richard Feynman, the Nobel Laureate whose centenary we are celebrating on May 11, was one of the most important American theoretical physicists of all time. His diagrams are used every day in characterizing particle interactions. In my talk, I'll explore how he was influenced by his PhD mentor at Princeton, another well-known physicist, John Wheeler. I'll discuss how the lifelong interplay between the two physicists helped shape Feynman’s key contributions to physics and physics pedagogy, despite clear differences in style and personality between the two.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

Suzanne BocanegraMy Life as an Artist Lecture with Anne Gridley, Frances McDormand, and Lili Taylor

Saturday, May 5, 20187 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater“An illuminating theatrical portrait of the mind of an artist at work.” –New York Times

"This show didn’t just knock my socks off. It took my socks, re-wove them into a cunning fabric-art work, and handed them gravely back.” –Helen Shaw

When MoMA asked the artist Suzanne Bocanegra to give a talk about her work, she created a lecture-performance that was part artist talk, part memoir, part gleefully rambling cultural essay. After that she made two more, presenting them at such venues as the Brooklyn Academy of Music and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. All three are now performed together for the first time, with Anne Gridley '02 (Nature Theater of Oklahoma), Frances McDormand (Fargo, Almost Famous, Moonrise Kingdom, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), and and Lili Taylor (American Crime, Six Feet Under, Mystic Pizza). Through text, video, music, and costume they tour Bocanegra’s Texas upbringing and life as an artist in stories that span scandal between a priest and a witch, teenage years spent in a plaster body cast, and her grandparents’ farm across from the ‘Best Little Whorehouse in Texas.’

Creative Activism in the Post Factual Age: A Talk by The Yes Men

Tuesday, May 8, 20186–7 pm

Campus Center, Weis Cinema

For over two decades, The Yes Men have staged multifarious hoaxes and actions that have revealed the mechanisms of corporate and governmental power. They have impersonated corporate executives and created fake versions of news sources, like the New York Times, that present public statements and stories contrary to official ones, among other activities. Their stunts hijack print, the Web, and television to enact what they call “identity correction,” a tactic that exposes the latent exploitative operations of companies and governments. For example, in 2004, Andy Bichlbaum, one of the Yes Men, impersonated a Dow Chemical representative in an appearance on the BBC. During the performance, Bichlbaum issued an apology for the 1984 Bhopal nuclear plant disaster (a toxic chemical gas leak in a Union Carbide plant that led to thousands of deaths and severe health hazards) and promised immediate reparations that resulted in a $2 billion dollar drop in Dow’s share price and forced the company into a PR crisis.

Since Trump’s election in 2016, The Yes Men have been questioning their previous methods that use news and other media platforms for activist campaigns. They ask: What is the point of getting media attention in an economy of social media that drives news according to users’ taste and search history? Does satire work when truth itself is so absurd? What forms of activism are impactful in a moment of rising fascism and supremacy? Mike Bonanno, one of the members of The Yes Men, will unpack these and many other questions in the talk “Creative Activism in the Post Factual Age.”

About The Yes Men and Mike Bonanno The Yes Men are known for their outrageous, headline-grabbing pranks made in the service of social movements. They’ve made three feature films about the actions (The Yes Men, The Yes Men Fix the World, and The Yes Men Are Revolting). Writer Naomi Klein called them “the Johnathan Swift of the Jackass generation,” but that was around a decade ago when people knew what Jackass was. They are currently searching for a new tagline that better explains to college-age kids what they do. (Suggestions welcome!) When he’s not doing the Yes Men, Mike Bonanno is also a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., where he goes by the name Igor Vamos, which his parents bizarrely decided to assign him, thus necessitating a “normal” name for undercover work. This talk is presented as part of “Reading Between the Lines,” a project by first-year CCS Bard graduate student Srinivas Aditya Mopidevi and supported by a grant from the Bard College Center for Experimental Humanities, with additional support from the Bard Center for Curatorial Studies.Sponsored by: Experimental Humanities Program.

Magnetic Nanostructures for Data Storage and Biomedical Applications

Xuemei May Cheng | Bryn Mawr College

Friday, May 11, 201812–1 pm

Hegeman 107Nanostructured materials are materials with one or more dimensions at the nanoscale (10-7-10-9 meters). Examples of nanostructured materials include 2-dimensional ultrathin films, 1-dimensional nanowires, 0-dimensional nanodots, and more complex structures that could have a combination of these characteristics. Nanostructured materials often exhibit new and enhanced properties over their bulk counterparts, so they not only offer ideal material systems for exploring fundamental physics, such as magnetic topological phases, but also hold promise for applications in data storage and biomedical engineering. In this talk, I will report our experimental work on 2D multilayers that host magnetic skyrmions, topologically protected spin textures that have promising applications in Spintronic data storage devices, as well as our work on magnetic disks that form the magnetic vortex state, useful for biomedical applications.Sponsored by: Physics Program.

A Conjunctions Reading by Rikki Ducornet and David Shields

A Conjunctions Cities Series reading, at University Book Store in Seattle

Tuesday, May 15, 20187–9 pm

University Book Store, 4326 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105On Tuesday, May 15, at 7 p.m., Seattle's University Book Store celebrates the literary journal Conjunctionswith a reading by contributors Rikki Ducornet and David Shields. Copies of Conjunctions will be available for sale. The free public reading will be followed by a Q&A with the authors and a signing; seating is first come, first served. RSVP on Facebook.

The literary journal Conjunctions, edited by novelist Bradford Morrow and published by Bard College, has been a living notebook for provocative, innovative, rigorously composed fiction, poetry, and narrative nonfiction since 1981. As Karen Russell has said, “Conjunctions is a translation into a multiverse of stories and poems and essays and even weirder hybrid forms, the mutant menagerie of literary fiction. I read it with Christmas pleasure.” Rick Moody agrees: “Without a doubt, Conjunctions is the best literary magazine in America.”

Tony Kushner on Leonard Bernstein

Saturday, May 19, 20187:30 pm

Fisher Center, Sosnoff Theater“Some playwrights want to change the world. Some want to revolutionize theater. Tony Kushner is that rarity of rarities: a writer who has the promise to do both.” —New York Times

Playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner is best known for his Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning plays Angels In America, Caroline, or Change and the screenplay for the 2012 film Lincoln. In this conversation with theater critic and scholar Alisa Solomon, Kushner will reflect on his relationship to the music of Leonard Bernstein, including his current work with Stephen Spielberg developing a screenplay of Bernstein’s West Side Story. Like Bernstein, Kushner is a powerful advocate for social change in his life and work, asking audiences to identify with the marginalized through humanizing acts of imagination.
